9 April 2025 Three images of zebrafish embryos, one in full colour and two in black-and-white. The latter images show hsp47 mutant zebrafish embryos grown at high temperatures, which are visibly shorter than wild-type embryos. The coloured image shows a line of pink cells along the centre of the body of the zebrafish.
